Aunt Harriet Quotes

“Aunt Harriet was very small and thin and old, Grace was very small and thin and middle-aged, Aunt Frances (For Elizabeth Ann called her ‘Aunt,’ although she was really, of course, a first-cousin-once-removed) was small and thin and if the light wasn’t too strong might be called young, and Elizabeth Ann was very small and thin and little.”

“Heard how Aunt Harriet kept Grace (in spite of the fact that she was a very depressing person) on account of her asthma; and when Elizabeth Ann’s father and mother both died when she was a baby.”
